Almost didn't race because of this horrible back kink that has been killing me for a few days, but decided to stick with the plan because I would have been doing a workout alone anyway. My running group is running a half-marathon tomorrow, but I didn't want to race on Sunday with them and I also am not ready to race a half.

Race start was at 8:30 a.m. Hot, windy, and long course.

Had a hard time breathing. Felt like my rib was crowding my lungs. Considering the circumstances, it was a very solid effort and I am pleased with the outcome. There was one guy ahead of me and the nearest female was a few minutes back. I ran alone the whole time but at least it was an out and back, so I got to see and support/be supported by lots of runners on the way back. Fastest mile was my last. Not the time I was hoping for, but lots of things to be happy about.

I'm so proud of you, Nan.

That sounds a little fatherly. Or a little sarcastic. Or maybe its brotherly, I can't tell.

But I'm going to pretend its completely sincere. Thanks, Brut! I mean Burt.

I am 40, so I guess that makes me old enough to be your father.
